After updating to version 5.2, the previously installed persona remained in place. However, attempting to select "own theme" in Tools - Options - LibreOffice - Personalization is unsuccessful. The select theme does not find any themes. There is no access to personas already present in the user profile.
Also, selecting "no theme" works as expected, but it is not possible to return to the previous (or any other) theme.

I have attached a file documenting the problem on my previous comment. This provides a bypass and further documentation to the problem. I do not know where to send this so have attached it to the bug. Sorry if it is the wrong place..Peter
To confirm that the situation is the same with 5.4.
Thank you for reporting the bug. To be certain the reported issue is not related to corruption in the user profile, could you please reset your Libreoffice profile ( https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile ) and re-test? I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the issue is still present
Reset the profiles in 5.4 (EN-GB with Linux-Mint Mate) and also LibreOfficedev 6.0 (EN-US). The problem is still there.
Persona works for me in LibO 5.4.2.2 Persona does not work for me in LibO 5.4.3.1 Build ID: 32c8895c6cae21571f364dbb059f419a743ee44d CPU threads: 2; OS: Linux 4.7; UI render: default; VCL: gtk2; Locale: en-ZA (en_US.UTF-8); Calc: group Unfortunately, Peter Maunder's paper didn't provide a workaround. :(
In 5.4.2.2 (x64, Windows 10 and on Linux Mint 18.2)the search for firefox themes does not work - no themes are found, even in the "LibreOffice" category. It did for a while. May be related to the firefox changes?
I have same problem with Libre Office 5.4.3.2 on Slackware64 14.2 up-to-date stable.
Looks like the problem described from comment 7 on is a new one, related to changes in the Mozilla Addons website structure. However, the status for the original problem should be NEW per the confirmation by Peter.

>Looks like the problem described from comment 7 on is a new one, related to >changes in the Mozilla Addons website structure. No! I was commenter referred to by 'on' (the comment after #7) but am replying to the original bug report! It's not like I'm a Millennial using Thunderbird for Android, Windows Phone, or even any portable PC... my situation was slightly different but will just go to show this is a wider bug than you knew, because the difference is I've mostly used Thunderbird on workstations with Unix or the most Unix-like (oldest surviving) GNU/Linux, and I have the exact same problem as the original bug report (I now see was for Windows.)

I was commenter referred to by 'on' (the comment after #7) but am No. See how it worked in 5.4.2 for jonathon, but not in 5.4.2 for Tim? Tim said "it worked for a while".
I opened a separate bug report for problems finding any theme on Firefox add-on repository: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=115143
I'm doubly confused now. LibreOffice 6.0.1.1 on one of my laptops displays my theme, without me doing anything. Literally, all I had to do was toss header.png, footer.png, and preview.png into ~/users/gallery/Persona/ . LibreOffice 6.0.1.1 on my other laptop, will only display a theme from firefox's repository. NO amount of fiddling with exerpt configuration menu, xcus, etc. will persuade it display local persona. Version: 6.0.1.1 Build ID: 60bfb1526849283ce2491346ed2aa51c465abfe6 CPU threads: 2; OS: Linux 4.7; UI render: default; VCL: gtk2; Locale: en-ZA (en_US.UTF-8); Calc: group Both laptops are using the same build #, etc. I'm running the same version of the same Linux distro (^1) on both laptops. As far as I can tell, the only difference between the laptops is that one is configured for South Africa, and the other is configured for the United States. (They both should be configured for South Africa.) ^1: I'm using either AntiX or MKLinux with an Xfce desktop.
I'm finding the same thing is still happening as per jonathon's second computer. I have this on both a windows 10 machine and a linux (mint) machine configured for Australia. Both machines are completely up to date. AT no stage have I ever been able to access any of the many personalisation folders in the user profile through the LO personalization interface. Whilst it doesn't affect the functionality of the software it gives the appearance of being broken and is very frustrating if you change to a theme which you don't like and want to change back. 6.0.1.1 Build ID: 60bfb1526849283ce2491346ed2aa51c465abfe6 on windows 10 and build ID 1:6.0.1~rc1-0ubuntu0.16.04.1~lo1 in Linux Mint 18.3 Both are able to access the firefox themes through the personalisation menu

Did you try safe mode or a profile reset with this other laptop? https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile

The Personas should be in their specific folder such as ~/users/gallery/Persona/My-Own-Personas. So the entry in the Expert Configuration will contain the folder name, for example My-Own-Personas/header.jpg;My-Own-Personas/footer.jpg;#ff0000;#ff0000 When you download a Firefox Personas each one is placed in a separate folder. Just a vague thought. In an expert configuration the ; (semi-colon) is critical and not the same in USA and GB keyboards. I assume this is not relevant for US / ZA and AU settings is it?
I guess this might get fixed after https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=118881 In the meantime, for the curious, how to add/test default themes to LO: 1- Put your theme folders into the 'personas' directory under the shared 'gallery' directory (it was on /usr/lib/libreoffice/share/gallery for my Debian system). (Create the personas directory first if it doesn't exist) 2- Create a file named personas_list.txt inside the personas directory 3- Put persona details in the personas_list.txt file, one persona per line Sample content of a personas_list.txt file: Abstract/preview_large.jpg;Abstract/Header2.jpg;Abstract/Footer2.jpg;#ffffff;#000000 Nature/preview_large.jpg;Nature/Arribaengrande.jpg;Nature/abajogrande.jpg;#ffffff;#49a83d Abstract/preview_large.jpg;Abstract/Header2.jpg;Abstract/Footer2.jpg;#ffffff;#000000

Should be resolved by https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/60432/
Verified fixed in LO 6.1.3 from Ubuntu PPA and in LO 6.2.0.0.beta1+ built at home under Ubuntu 18.04 x86-64. Best regards. JBF
